:It won't do anything. The won't increase speeds, lower prices or raise caps. Why should they? Their only customers are people that live in the boonies who only other choice is dial-up. Except the satellite companies are too stupid to realize that those most of those people would rather put up with dial-up or no Internet at all than to put up with what satellite calls "service"
They will use it to expand the number of customers they can serve. And they will get new customers no matter what you think about people sticking with dial-up instead of using satellite connections.
Yes I heard that from wild blue too. they claim their satellite will offer 6x time the capacity. How's that goal of getting 6X as many customers working out so far for them? It's insane if they think they're going to get 6X time as many customers with their service and prices as is. Same thing goes with hughesnet.
